Newcastle United will be offered another chance to sign Arsenal and Costa Rica striker Joel Campbell.

United remain in the hunt for either Alexandre Lacazette and Loic Remy but the Chronicle understands that Campbell could be presented to United as a possible loan signing before the window shuts.

West Ham had been interested in bringing Campbell to Upton Park earlier this month but Sam Allardyce has since ruled out the switch.

Campbell is available on loan and while he does want to stay at Arsenal long-term, a loan move to a Premier League club is an option. The Gunners, though, would demand a sizeable loan fee for his services.

United struck up a good business rapport with Arsenal earlier this summer when selling Mathieu Debuchy to the London club. And while moves to AC Milan and Crystal Palace haven’t came off for Campbell he could be pushed into the direction of Newcastle again.

The player starred in the World Cup for Costa Rica after helping them reach the last eight before being knocked out by Holland. Campbell spent last season on loan at Olympiakos in Greece.
